I will no more come to thee by Thomas Morley — Lyrics
I will no more come to thee,

About I will no more come to thee
Thomas Morley’s I will no more come to thee is a secular madrigal for eight voices, written in two choirs (SSAT and SSAB). The text expresses the singer’s frustration and heartbreak at the unresponsiveness of a lover. The music reflects the direct, often plaintive, sentiments of the lyrics. It is a fine example of English Renaissance part-music, suitable for a chamber choir seeking to explore the expressive capabilities of the madrigal form. The contrasting vocal groups allow for dynamic interplay and a rich harmonic texture, ideal for an intimate concert setting or a festival programme focused on the Renaissance period.
